Reading Journal - Macbeth Act 1

• We are introduced to the characters, and their relationships with each other
• The initial plot is outlined
• Macbeth is reported to be a brutal killer, which adds to the gothic element of the play
• Themes such as jealousy, treason, death and romance are explored
• As the first act goes on, the audiences perception on the relationship between Macbeth and Lady can be altered
• Lady Macbeth's relationship with Macbeth, in my opinion, is one filled with romance yet it's disguised by the corruption following them, but the fact that they are working together maybe enforces their initial feelings for each other 
• 'Fair is foul and foul is fair' can be followed through throughout the first act. Where Macbeth is fair is his assumption that he should be king, his act is a foul one.
